I've always liked this issue. Steeler and Clutch are two of my favorites, so it's nice to see them in leading roles. You have to love the title, too. Or at least, I do. I like puns. Plus the clever way the Joes mimic the cannon firing is pretty neat too.

I always thought Cobra hiding right under the grandstand/dais was pretty funny, and I too enjoyed the characterization of General Flagg. As was already said, this was the very first mention of Springfield, which would go on to become a main piece of the comics' Cobra mythos.

All in all, this is my favorite of the very early issues.
